From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Former foreign editor of Time, Ramo pushes the reader into uncomfortable yet exhilarating places with controversial ways of thinking about global challenges (e.g., studying why Hezbollah is the most efficiently run Islamic militant group). His book, which lays bare the flaws in current thinking on everything from American political influence to the economy, is designed to change the physics of the way we think. Analyzing the failure of the Bush administration's Democratic Peace Theory and the fruitless efforts at a Mideast peace process, Ramo suggests that people must change the role they imagine for themselves from architects of a system they can control to gardeners in a living ecosystem. Ramo's message—that the most dynamic forces emerge from outside elite circles: geeks, iconoclasts and maligned populations—is persuasively argued. And while the author doesn't explicitly offer up solutions, he goads readers to approach problems in unexpected ways. His revelatory work argues that there must be some audacity in thinking before there can be any audacity of hope. (Apr.)

本书可说是一本有关于物理的政治学。简单如这般的道理能写成一本书真是服了。本人一直是阴谋论者,实在不想相信这就是该书作者对“中国模式”的的全部思考。当初写《北京共识》可能是真的有感而发,而这一次的《不可思议的世界》有可能是西方少数利益集团捧杀中国伎俩之一。从2...
评分《不那么---不可思议》 本文基础知识点。 “沙堆效应”,是美国学者提出的。 人们注意到小孩在海边玩堆沙子时,沙子可以一直往上堆起来,形成一定规模的小沙堆,直到最后一粒沙子后,看似突然,然而必然地会引起整个沙堆的“崩溃”.最后一粒沙子有点类似于中国传统文化所说的...
评分乐观是一件很容易的事情,忧患也是一件很容易的事情。在忧患之中,找到乐观的理由,才是最难的事情。 《纽约时报》专栏作家托马斯•弗里德曼是一个不可救药的乐观主义者。他相信“金色M理论”:只要两个国家都有麦当劳,就不会发生战争。这么天真的想法,居然会如此流行,是...
评分我们接触到的事物,我们所面对的问题,都有一些人一些书在我们之前面对过,思考过,解答过。只是我们不知道。在注重走出去的同时,万卷书却被我们遗忘在角落里。本书中印象最深刻的两个地方:一个是沙堆,一个是巴西的一家企业。
评分《不可思议的年代》 乔舒亚•库伯•雷默 著 何帆 译 湖南科学技术出版社 腰封上写着这样的句子: 传统的全球秩序摇摇欲坠,旧时代的精英们束手无策,轮到你上场的时候了,每个人都可以参与创造我们的社会。在一个革命的时代,你必须像一个革命者那样思考和行动。 这...
